During the time in grade 1 in Elementary school, students had to sleep after having lunch 2 hours later. I often was woken up by my teacher. She asked me to correct the error of mathematics homework. Then, I tried hard to revise it. Also, I was sometimes punished not to do the homework because I hated it. I did not pay attention at all in the class. I really neded help; otherwise, I would be punished by standing outside the class with one leg for 1 hour. As a result, I had to ask my older brother to teach me how to solve the mathematics question. It was very easy, but I could not do it at all. I was upset because he did not help me anything. Thus, when I went school, I had to wake up during that time again and again. Finally, by the end of the session, I got the grade which was lower than 50%. My parents knew about my problem, but they did not have time to help me.
Then, during vacation, I had been living with my aunt, my brothers, and my cousins for 3 months in other city. We all had to play a role as students and my aunt had to be a teacher for mathematics. There was the rule that if the person got the worst grade for all of us, one had to clean the bathroom which no one desired to do. We did a lot of quiz. After that, my aunt evaluated from all the quiz and calculate the point out of 100. I was so happy that I was not the worst one. And the fact that my aunt played this game is that I could improve my mathematics. It was fun, and I learnt a lot of technique of solving the mathematics questions.
Once the new session had started, I never was woken up again. I did well for my mathematics subjects. And I loved studying mathematics. I got the top grade in the class almost every session. This is how I had mathematics literacy.

You are good mathmatics!? It's good to hear that you ahve good skill to solve math questions. For me me I hate that... when I was in elementary school I really liked studying math, but as I drew up... I didn't find any fun in studying math. Anyway, it's good for you!
Amporn, you have very fantastic history about your mathematics literacy.
see you later
sounds like u had a pretty interesting experience before....i didnt like math either when i was young.....i remember i always performed perfectly in every subjects except math.....i didnt know why.. before senior high, i really didnt like math.....however, when i got into senior high scool, i suddenly became an expert of math....i could performed well in every math exam........so i think that's also one of the reason why i studied business in my university.....hahah, anyway, hope u have better sense of math now
I envy your mathematics literacy. I used to say that if I have a mathematics literacy, my life were chaneged. I am still worry about my mathematics literacy and I always think about why do mathematics hates me. envy you...
me too .I also love studying mathematics.
In my opinion, the language of mathematics is the real world-wide language.
E.X in China ,even throught all the modern theories of mathematics come from Russia, but my friend also can use them to communicate with teachers and students in here university, just changing some symbol.
Furthermore, as we read the wonderful process to solve a mathematics question, we will be moved by the beautiful process.The feeling can not be explain by any language .We stay there, just want to get the feeling again and again.
Therefore, I believe that the mathematics is not learnt , is felt.
